Spring Fever Weekend…and Beyond!

Let’s get the party started in Downtown Winter Garden!

Spring is wonderful in our beautiful Historic District.  Come down, stroll along the West Orange Trail and sample the shops and restaurants!

The 12th Annual Spring Fever in the Garden

Produced by the Bloom ‘n Grow Society

Saturday, April 14 9am to 5pm and Sunday, April 15 11am to 4pm

An amazing street festival of plants, flowers and garden related items, sold by over 100 vendors.  Plus, Kid Zone areas, Ask the Expert, and Chalkin’ It Up, sidewalk chalk art contest. This is one of the most lovely festivals in all of Central Florida, so don’t miss it!  After strolling Plant Street and all of the vendors, stop inside The Attic Door for a great lunch and some welcomed air conditioning!

The Music Man

Written by Meredith Willson

Fast-talking Harold Hill convinces the parents of a small town in Iowa to buy instruments and uniforms for their youngsters, but chaos ensues as Hill’s credentials are questioned and he is called upon to prove himself to the citizens of River City. The Music Man marks the Garden Theatre’s third full-length spring musical, a true community celebration!
